Qume was a company that manufactured computer printers and terminals in the 1970s and 1980s. It was based in San Jose, California and was known for its high-quality dot matrix printers and its early involvement in the development of computer graphics. Qume’s printers were popular in the early days of the personal computer industry and were used by a variety of companies and organizations, including IBM and the U.S. government. The company also developed advanced printing technologies, such as the Qume Script printer, which was one of the first printers to support scalable font technology. Qume was eventually acquired by another company and its products were eventually discontinued, but its contributions to the development of computer printing and graphics technology continue to be remembered and recognized.
